| Sicelo | wireshark just remains silent the whole time | 00:38 |
| DocScrutinizer | tried strace? | 00:38 |
| Sicelo | nop. let me | 00:38 |
| Sicelo | but i might need some hand-holding there .. strace isn't a tool i'm so familiar with | 00:39 |
| DocScrutinizer | don't forget the -f ork option | 00:39 |
| DocScrutinizer | in the simplest form strace can either start a process (strace date) | 00:40 |
| DocScrutinizer | or attach to a running process (strace -p `pidof less`) | 00:40 |
| DocScrutinizer | -f (iirc) means "also follow child processes that might get forked" | 00:40 |
| DocScrutinizer | if nothing is given for a filter, szrace will simply trace *ALL* | 00:41 |
| DocScrutinizer | you might want to redirect the diagnostic output to a file, so you could analyze later (-o iirc) | 00:42 |
| DocScrutinizer | there's a nice terse howto on wiki.maemo.org | 00:43 |
| DocScrutinizer | http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/devtools/maemo5/strace | 00:43 |
| merlin1991 | oh god -o | 00:47 |
| merlin1991 | tried to use -o with wget one day wondering wtf went wrong | 00:47 |
| merlin1991 | untill I realized, wget has -o and -O | 00:48 |
| DocScrutinizer | hmm | 00:48 |
| merlin1991 | -o redirects stdout, -O redirects file output | 00:48 |
| DocScrutinizer | I'm all but sure about -o of strace, pretty please look it up in strace --help or man strace | 00:48 |
| merlin1991 | (for wget that is) | 00:49 |
| *** messerting has joined #maemo | 00:49 | |
| DocScrutinizer | Sicelo: one catch about strace is: all file operations (you know *unix* almost all is a file) are against filehandles which are numeric. You have to look up the open() call that associates the filehandle to a real useful path and filename | 00:51 |
| Sicelo | chmod 666 /var/lock/as-daemon.pid seems to be getting me somewhere :P | 00:51 |
| Sicelo | indeed, now i'm on next screen ;) | 00:51 |
| *** sq-one has quit IRC | 00:51 | |
| DocScrutinizer | stale lock? just delete it | 00:52 |
| *** PeterWolf has joined #maemo | 00:53 | |
| DocScrutinizer | btw it might be interesting to do `cat /var/lock/as-daemon.pid` | 00:55 |
| DocScrutinizer | and ps | grep `cat /var/lock/as-daemon.pid` | 00:55 |
| DocScrutinizer | and wtf is as-daemon anyway? :-D | 00:56 |
| Sicelo | active sync daemon :P | 00:57 |
| DocScrutinizer | aaaah :-D | 00:57 |
| RiD | also known as A W E O | 00:58 |
| DocScrutinizer | so a potential explanation is simple: as-daemon stalled for some reason, and left a stale lockfile /var/lock/as-daemon.pid. This made any subsequent startup of same daemon abort and fail | 00:58 |
| DocScrutinizer | t900:~# ps | grep `cat /var/lock/as-daemon.pid` | 01:01 |

| freemangordon | zeq: did you try it? | 01:31 |
| zeq | freemangordon: yes, it worked well :) | 01:37 |
| zeq | we'll have to let romaxa know | 01:37 |
| freemangordon | good. zeq, I found a problem with your zoom functionality, it does not reflow the text | 01:37 |
| freemangordon | I told him | 01:37 |
| zeq | ah good! | 01:38 |
| freemangordon | he was not impressed :D | 01:38 |
| zeq | lol | 01:38 |
| zeq | why? | 01:38 |
| zeq | not the correct solution? | 01:38 |
| freemangordon | [19:34] <freemangordon> romaxa: orientation change support for maemo5 is fixed now, most probably either me or zeq will file a bug (with patch). On the other hand I tried GLES support, it works, but spits some errors (couldn't create EGL image: ERROR (0x300c)) and is slower than without it. I suppose GLES support is still not finished. | 01:38 |
| freemangordon | [20:34] <romaxa> freemangordonÐ: hmmm possibly.. EGLImage might not work, but there are definitely works simple TFP bindImage to X surface... also thebesLayers tiled version need to be enabled when it is ready for IPC version, that should make it works just great | 01:39 |
| freemangordon | [20:34] <romaxa> freemangordon: also in order to remove that error you can try to set in GLContextProviderEGL.cpp gUseBackingSurface = false | 01:39 |
| nox- | http://serverfault.com/questions/403732/anyone-else-experiencing-high-rates-of-linux-server-crashes-today | 01:39 |
| freemangordon | zeq: BTW we are NOT using HW acceleration | 01:39 |
| zeq | good potential for more speedups then | 01:40 |
| zeq | as for the zoom, it's a bug/feature in the mozilla code | 01:40 |
| freemangordon | well, not unless romaxa (or some other GL guru) helps | 01:40 |
| zeq | I just enabled the buttons | 01:40 |
| freemangordon | zeq: but it works on double-click | 01:40 |
| freemangordon | (ther is an option for that) | 01:41 |
| zeq | I guess it's different functionality. I can't remember what the old gtk version did | 01:41 |
| freemangordon | whatever, without text reflow, zoom is unusable in portrait | 01:41 |
| freemangordon | AIUI | 01:42 |
| zeq | I did look through the code for where the keybindings are for zoom, but couldn't find them | 01:42 |
| zeq | I don't know if there is some other zoom mode that could be hooked up | 01:43 |
| *** PeterWolf has quit IRC | 01:43 | |
| DocScrutinizer | nox-: what's the bottom line? | 01:43 |
| freemangordon | i am grepping for OnMouseDoubleClickEvent through the whole code right now, there should be some function called that reflows | 01:43 |
| nox- | DocScrutinizer, ntp vs leap second vs kernel bug apparently | 01:44 |
| zeq | freemangordon: that's what I was thinking | 01:44 |
| nox- | ntpd | 01:44 |
| DocScrutinizer | haha, leap second | 01:44 |
| DocScrutinizer | great! | 01:44 |
| nox- | indeed | 01:44 |
| * nox- glad he uses freebsd for this | 01:44 | |
| *** erstazi has quit IRC | 01:44 | |
| zeq | freemangordon: I'm going to have to head to bed soon... | 01:45 |
| DocScrutinizer | I could easily see ntpd et al crashing on 02:00:60 | 01:45 |
| freemangordon | zeq: np, i will look at it | 01:45 |
| zeq | did romaxa's comments about gles make any sense to you at all? | 01:45 |
| nox- | DocScrutinizer, yeah but it seemed to take the kernel with it | 01:45 |
| DocScrutinizer | also the leap-second announce flag in services like DCF77 is a rarely used and thus untested feature | 01:46 |
| freemangordon | zeq: partially. i tried his suggestions, no difference. and with enabled hw acceleration fennec crashes every now and then | 01:46 |
| zeq | egl acceleration or render..? | 01:47 |
| freemangordon | yep | 01:47 |
| freemangordon | render | 01:47 |
| zeq | no faster? | 01:47 |
| nox- | quote: This is caused by a livelock when ntpd calls adjtimex(2) to tell the kernel to insert a leap second. | 01:47 |
| freemangordon | well, it peaks at about 38 fps, but stutters | 01:47 |
| zeq | freemangordon: what do we get without? | 01:48 |
| freemangordon | (there is an option in about:config to enable HW acceleration and fps print) | 01:48 |
| zeq | ok | 01:48 |
| freemangordon | zeq: rephrase please | 01:48 |
| zeq | fps without hw accel | 01:48 |
| freemangordon | no idea, it works only when HA accel is enabled | 01:49 |
| freemangordon | *HW | 01:49 |
| zeq | the instability could be coming from anywhere | 01:49 |
| freemangordon | [21:06] <freemangordon> romaxa: actually the fps goes up to 34-36 from time to time, but the whole thing stutters | 01:49 |
| freemangordon | [21:07] <freemangordon> romaxa: thanks | 01:49 |
| freemangordon | [21:07] <romaxa> freemangordon: yep it is becasue slow GL upload | 01:49 |
| *** dhbiker has quit IRC | 01:49 | |
| freemangordon | whatever it means | 01:50 |
| zeq | it can't be uploading on each character? | 01:50 |
| freemangordon | nnah, i suspect that means that texture upload is slow | 01:51 |
| freemangordon | from memory to GPU | 01:51 |
| zeq | he could be right. I've no idea how good it is. | 01:51 |
| freemangordon | NFC actually, GL is a mistery for me for most of its part | 01:52 |
| freemangordon | well, maybe if we pester romaxa often enough he will finally take a look at it :) | 01:52 |
| zeq | you never know.. he did say he *might* set up a maemo sdk and give it a try | 01:53 |
| freemangordon | zeq: but better you do it, I am famous with my diplomatic skills :D | 01:53 |
| zeq | :) | 01:53 |
| zeq | freemangordon: I'm off to bed now, catch you tomorrow? | 01:54 |
| freemangordon | anyway, I think the first set of patches should be ready once I fix that text reflow issue | 01:54 |
| freemangordon | sure | 01:54 |
| zeq | A working set of patches has got to help our chances of getting some help :) | 01:55 |
| freemangordon | yep | 01:55 |

| ShadowJK | seems so | 02:20 |
| ShadowJK | But also the capacity difference might be significant factor | 02:21 |
| DocScrutinizer | or is this one of the fake sandisk chinese counterfeits | 02:21 |
| ShadowJK | I've benchmarked the old C2 and C4 sandisks at 8G capacity, and this is new C4 at 32G | 02:21 |
| DocScrutinizer | maybe even a 4GB one that just tells "hey I'm 32" | 02:21 |
| ShadowJK | Well, the manfid etc check out, and the controller is new, because it actually reports a "preferred erase size" | 02:22 |

| DocScrutinizer | I'd guess that would drastically complicate and make expensive any working uSD | 04:07 |
| *** erkules has quit IRC | 04:07 | |
| DocScrutinizer | aiui controllers are built in a way they detect and 'discard' and bad pages, and thus by mere over-providing of storage manufacturers make sure their cards will work with the advertised capacity, even while _usually_ some pages on flash chip are defect | 04:09 |
| DocScrutinizer | the huge difference between NAND and NOR | 04:10 |
| DocScrutinizer | s/and bad/any bad/ | 04:10 |
| DocScrutinizer | much the same way modern HDD do the same | 04:12 |
| *** PeterWolf has joined #maemo | 04:12 | |
| DocScrutinizer | though those still use a direct geometrical (or linear) mapping of blocks, and only remap bad blocks. While a uSD is juggling good pages all around, if only for wear leveling. This wear leveling will probably tag and discard and not use any further any bad page it detects, as anything else seems silly | 04:14 |
| *** npm_ is now known as npm | 04:17 | |
| DocScrutinizer | well, you're probably right when you take my term "block" literally | 04:17 |
| DocScrutinizer | of course that mapping and tagging will work on nothing smaller than a whole erase page | 04:18 |
| DocScrutinizer | of course I also heard of those cases where card just starts to malfunction as soon as all spare pages got used up | 04:20 |
| DocScrutinizer | but I'd rather guess that's only happening when you actually try to fill up the whole nominal storage capacity of the card with data, which obviously can't work anymore when the controller runs out of spare pages to use for both wear leveling and substitution of defect pages | 04:22 |

| ShadowJK | Last person that investigated the low level details concluded there's about 2% reserve pages, and the wear leveling is accidental side effect of something else, and bad block replacement only works within 1000 page chunks | 04:47 |
| ShadowJK | i.e. first 800M gets 40M spare, once that spare is used up the device pretty much dies even if there was otherwise lots spare left elsewhere ond evice | 04:48 |

| Estel_ | DocScrutinizer, feel silly continuing this topic, but re IRc and referendum - you're wrong, as usual. While I agree that it would be idiotic idea - and I used it as comparision - actually, chan imperator is working closely with Council, so TMO could - following your twisted logic - make referendum to have Council ask X-Fade about removing You frokm chanop | 08:12 |
| Estel_ | and X-fade would do that, per Council request | 08:12 |
| Estel_ | again, it's just "mind experiment" don't worry, it was just about showing how You pivot rules to your liking, in my humble opinion, which you have, of course, right to not agree. | 08:13 |
| Estel_ | If You think that referendum can be used to remove volunteers form volunteering, it can be used to make anything. It's kinda wrong, as AFAIk, referendum is something started by Council, to see if poeople support some dieas or not. | 08:14 |
| Estel_ | after all, council doesn't do anything alone, cause it's not fuckin goverment, despite fact, that almsot everyone is trying to apply political filters. | 08:14 |
| *** ekze has joined #maemo | 08:14 | |
| Estel_ | i.e. Council can say "we're doing this and that", but without other volunteers wanting to do that, Council can kiss own ass, if manage to. | 08:15 |
| Estel_ | it's all about collaboration. | 08:15 |
| Estel_ | due mtot his reason, applying copy& paste from real-world goverments and politics is stupid. Not to mention, that even in real life, You have election every 4-5 years, and goverment can't be forced to go away (in legal ways, not by guns ;) ) even if have only 1% of support | 08:16 |
| Estel_ | fortunately, despite how You see it, maemo is also absed on meritocracy. Fact that we have election of *volunteers* doesn't mean it becomes political. | 08:17 |
| Estel_ | anyway, whatever, I'm sure that You won't agree, and everyone have better things to do, so... :) | 08:18 |

| Macer | oh... damn. i totally forgot all about that heh | 08:56 |
| Estel_ | I knew that. phew. | 08:56 |
| kwtm2 | Am about to flash my N900. Remind me again: I only use the -R flag on the second of the two operations (1. flashing firmware and 2. flashing eMMC) whichever is done last, right? THe page at http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_firmware#Linux is unclear. | 08:57 |
| kwtm2 | seen alex | 08:58 |
| Macer | Estel_: i was working on getting some caps for a mboard with bad caps | 08:58 |
| Macer | heh | 08:58 |
| Macer | 6 of 8 of them are bulging | 08:58 |
| Estel_ | kwtm2, You flash emmc first witohut reboot, then, rootfs | 08:58 |
| Estel_ | if You feel masochistc, You may do other way around | 08:59 |
| Estel_ | no gain, and every accidentla reboot kills Your integrity | 08:59 |
| Estel_ | emmc first without r and disabling it after by removing battery + flashing rootfs with -R later is best way | 08:59 |
| Estel_ | Macer, well, caps happen :) | 08:59 |
| Macer | it's an older shuttle k45 | 09:00 |

| kwtm2 | once I failed to be able to flash firmware, causing problems that have plagued me to this day. That was the most recent time (although I had flashed it half a dozen times prior to that, some time before). Hope it works this time. | 09:39 |
| *** LaoLang_cool has joined #maemo | 09:41 | |
| Estel_ | kwtm2, yea | 09:45 |
| Estel_ | emmC is just partition layout of eMMC | 09:45 |
| kwtm2 | Okay, failed again. Says "missing image". I wonder about a number of things that are unclear on the wiki. | 09:45 |
| Estel_ | rootfs is... rootfs:p | 09:45 |
| Estel_ | in fact, nothing is uncleare there, it seems that you're missinterpreting something. Lets try to work through it | 09:45 |
| kwtm2 | Estel_: I see that I have 2 files. (This is from when I flashed a long time ago) | 09:45 |
| Estel_ | first of all - if You use flasher without any arguments, it will show you list of options and meanings | 09:45 |
| kwtm2 | My two files are called EMMC and FIRMWARE. So rootfs would be part of the firmware? | 09:45 |
| Estel_ | yes. | 09:46 |
| Estel_ | RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin | 09:46 |
| kwtm2 | Also, the unclear part: after the flasher exits, is the N900 supposed to sit there unmoving? | 09:46 |
| Estel_ | ^^^ vanilla eMMc. you don't need it, most of the times. | 09:46 |
| Estel_ | wait, wait, first things first | 09:46 |
| kwtm2 | ok. Pls go ahead. | 09:46 |
| Estel_ | RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin | 09:46 |
| Estel_ | ^^^ FIASCO image | 09:46 |
| Estel_ | containing many trhings for rootfs | 09:47 |
| Estel_ | things* | 09:47 |
| Estel_ | aka combined | 09:47 |
| Estel_ | now, You just do as per wiki - if You want to flash with eMMC image restoration, you feed it by that image... | 09:47 |
| Estel_ | flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin -f | 09:47 |
| Estel_ | first, big -F is about "file" | 09:48 |
| Estel_ | it must be path to file | 09:48 |
| Estel_ | it depends on system, etc, but it's either relativer or absolute path | 09:48 |
| Estel_ | then, -f is "flash" | 09:48 |
| Estel_ | or other way around, maybe I've messed upercase and lowercase f - in any case, od as it is in wiki :) | 09:48 |
| kwtm2 | The unclear part is some things that I wonder about as a noob, about which I would like reassurance. Maybe it's just that I need something from my perspective as someone who may possibly brick my n900. :) | 09:48 |
| Estel_ | so, you flash eMMC, and then, when it reports that I've finished with success, You remove battery from N900 | 09:49 |
| Estel_ | I see. | 09:49 |
| Estel_ | so, you don't remove cable, etc, just battery | 09:49 |
| luke-jr | … | 09:49 |
| Estel_ | after that, You may remove cable if You feel it fancy, then You feed flasher with COMBINED | 09:49 |
| kwtm2 | Well, the wiki says "you MAY have to remove battery" but it doesn't say you should, and previously I didn't remove battery. So it's not so much that I don't understand the wiki as that there is conflicting info. | 09:49 |
| luke-jr | if you don't remove the cable, removing the battery doesn't really do anything | 09:49 |
| luke-jr | in my experience | 09:50 |
| Estel_ | luke-jr, true, i just said to remove batteyr first. On second though, it doesn't matter | 09:50 |
| Estel_ | kwtm2, it's because you may disable N90 0by other means than removing battery | 09:50 |
| Estel_ | but it's said in wiki, that You must not allow it to reboot | 09:50 |
| Estel_ | after eMMC flash | 09:50 |
| Estel_ | anyway | 09:50 |
| Estel_ | then Yo0u feed flasher with | 09:50 |
| Estel_ | flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R | 09:51 |
| Estel_ | just watch uper and lwoer case f, i may have mixed them | 09:51 |
| Estel_ | againt, first one is file | 09:51 |
| kwtm2 | I see. So after eMMC flash I *must* disable N900 somehow, e.g. removing the battery... I cannot just continue automatically with flashing firmware. | 09:51 |
| Estel_ | then, "flash" command | 09:51 |
| Estel_ | and last is reboot | 09:51 |
| Estel_ | You may ommit the -r command, and reboot Yourself, but it's more conveinent | 09:51 |
| Estel_ | yes. | 09:51 |
| kwtm2 | Estel_: I do have the commands in a bash script that I wisely wrote when I first learned to flash. | 09:51 |
| Estel_ | if N900 reboots between eMMC and COMBINED, your flashing gone fubar. | 09:52 |
| kwtm2 | Ok, another thing that is unclear is... how do I reboot? the power button doesn't do anything, and I don't know what's supposed to happen. | 09:52 |
| Estel_ | nothing irrevertible - You just need to start from scratch | 09:52 |
| Estel_ | when do You want to reboot? After Combined? | 09:52 |
| kwtm2 | Ok, I will redo the flashing, removing the battery in between. In answer to your last question, | 09:52 |
| kwtm2 | I plan to flash both eMMC and firmware, so I guess I'll do that in that order. But after firmware (last time) I tried to reboot but the device wouldn't respond. | 09:53 |
| kwtm2 | So finally I took out the battery for a moment, replaced it, and it said "missing image". So anyway, I will redo it the way you have told me. | 09:53 |
| Estel_ | kwtm2, You may reboot using flasher - either provide -R at end of flashing command (combined only, not after eMMC0, or just do flasher-3.5 -R after flashing | 09:53 |
| Estel_ | because it went fubar after eMMC flashing :) | 09:53 |
| Estel_ | basically, you flash eMMC, without -R command to not allow it reboot - after flashing, You have quite unlimtied ammount of time to remove battery and unplug cable, no need to haste. | 09:54 |
| kwtm2 | Estel_: Right, I've put -R now but previously I did not put -R and I thought I could reboot manually, which the wiki leads me to believe, but I see that this is not true. | 09:54 |
| Estel_ | then, You flash combined, via same way as before (plugging device while holding "U"), but this time you may add -R command at end | 09:54 |
| kwtm2 | Estel_: I did not reboot after eMMC, so I don't know why it went fubar. | 09:54 |
| Estel_ | kwtm2, You *may* reboot manuall,y by issuing "flasher-3.5 -R" after flashing | 09:55 |
| Estel_ | it';s just dividing it to two steps, unnecessary. More conveinent is to reboot after combined. | 09:55 |
| kwtm2 | Estel_: ?? Do I need to plug the device in again while holding U? That was not clear -- I thought I flashed the firmware immediately last time and it worked. | 09:55 |
| Estel_ | theoretically, removing batteyr again, inserting it, and booting normally shgould work too, haven't checked | 09:55 |
| kwtm2 | Ah, I reboot manually by issuing "flasher-3.5 -R" from my laptop. That part is also unclear. Ok. | 09:55 |
| Estel_ | You flashed eMMC | 09:55 |
| Estel_ | after eMMc, you remove battery AND unplug cable, as luke mentioned | 09:55 |
| Estel_ | so you need to somehow plug it again to flash combined ;) | 09:56 |
| Estel_ | and, you need to bring it into flashing mode agasin | 09:56 |
| Estel_ | so, holding "U" | 09:56 |
| Estel_ | basically, to flash including eMMc, You do two separate flashing, separated by removing battery. To flash normally, you just flash combined. | 09:56 |
| Estel_ | warning - if You have done custom partition layout, it will be gone after flashing eMMC vanilla. | 09:57 |
| kwtm2 | Ah. That part was completely unclear. There were 2 sections in the wiki, and they sounded independent, like written for people who only wanted to flash one or the other. It was not clear that the U part was still necessary and could not be skipped if I wanted to do both. Ok, I will put that in my script file. | 09:57 |
| kwtm2 | Otherwise in 2 years I will forget again. | 09:57 |
| *** sulx has joined #maemo | 09:58 | |
| Estel_ | kwtm2, thats true, wiki was written by different people. | 09:59 |
| Estel_ | You could also upgrade wiki | 09:59 |
| Estel_ | making it better source of knowledge not only for You, for later, but for others too | 09:59 |
| Estel_ | but please, do it only after successful flashing :) | 09:59 |
| kwtm2 | Estel_: Well, I successfully flashed about half a dozen times when I first got the device, two years ago, and wished I had updated the wiki then. :P | 10:01 |
| Estel_ | so do it this timer, cause there is high chance that You will be using Yuor N900 after next 2 years too :) | 10:02 |
| Estel_ | sorry for typos. | 10:02 |
| *** vblazquez has joined #maemo | 10:02 | |
| kwtm2 | Estel_: Yes, I probably will; seeing Nokia's sinking ship, I bought an extra N900 because I don't want to give up my investment in all the scripts I've written for the N900 (and I don't want to have to learn Android or Apple). | 10:04 |
| kwtm2 | That's partly why I dare to reflash my N900 now: I have an extra one in case something goes wrong. | 10:05 |
| kwtm2 | The previous times it was out of necessity. I learned firsthand about the ~/.profile bug. :P | 10:05 |
| Estel_ | hehe. | 10:06 |
| Estel_ | Yea, no really suitable devices on horizon | 10:06 |
| kwtm2 | eMMC flashed. So now I *must* not remove the USB cable when I remove the battery? Or I *may* remove the USB cable before I remove teh battery? | 10:06 |
| Estel_ | you may either buy android that got 21432453543543543543543 MHZ and RAMJ, just to spy on you more effectively, but don't allow You to use that horsepower... | 10:06 |
| Estel_ | on anything usable... | 10:06 |
| Estel_ | or stick to Your good N900 that does circles around multi-core devices, in terms of real life usability :) | 10:06 |
| kwtm2 | I had such high hopes for The Samsung Linux Phone Secret Project. | 10:07 |
| Estel_ | you may do it hoever you want | 10:07 |
| kwtm2 | But I need to knwo. Can I remove the cable before the battery? Ah, I can. Ok. | 10:07 |
| Estel_ | just be sure to, at the end, have both batteyr and cable unplug | 10:07 |
| kwtm2 | Ohh!!! I see the firmware flashing now. It did not do that previously, but listed all the stuff it was going to flash, and then exited to prompt, so I thought it had flashed already. Someone should program the flasher to say "I did not flash"!!! I thought the list of stuff was shown as it was flashing, and it was done. Geez, no wonder. | 10:09 |
| kwtm2 | Now I will have to go flash CSSU. I want the power kernel that lets me do mobile hotspot. | 10:09 |
| kwtm2 | Oh, and it's even rebooting. Look at that. | 10:09 |
| *** sulx has quit IRC | 10:10 | |

| *** vblazquez has quit IRC | 10:28 | |
| kwtm2 | I'm reading wiki.maemo.org/Kernel_Power It says with the stable kernel you can change the frequency limits, the voltages and DSP frequencies online." Does that mean I *cannot* do the mobile hotspot (tethering)? Do I need the unstable kernel for that? | 10:28 |
| *** vblazquez has joined #maemo | 10:28 | |
| kwtm2 | It says of the unstable kernel "This kernel version contains additional experimental features and patches. " But it doesn't say which additional features. | 10:28 |
| *** utanapischti has quit IRC | 10:28 | |
| Pali | kwtm2, kernel-power is stable now | 10:29 |

| *** utanapischti has joined #maemo | 10:29 | |
| kwtm2 | The page "http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/kernel-power-flasher/" lists features. | 10:29 |
| Pali | last version (v50) which is in Extras (and also on that link) is stable | 10:30 |
| kwtm2 | Pali: Oh, so there is only one version of power kernel that I need to install, and it is both stable and contains the ability for hotspot? | 10:30 |
| Pali | yes | 10:30 |
| kwtm2 | Also, it does not list hotspot but it lists NAT. Is NAT what is required for hotspot? | 10:30 |
| Pali | yes | 10:30 |
| Pali | ~wiki NAT | 10:30 |
| kwtm2 | Ok. Hmm, someone (probably me) should sort through that wiki and update it. | 10:30 |
| infobot | At http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAT (URL), Wikipedia explains: "{{Redirect|NAT||Nat (disambiguation)}} In computer networking, 'network address translation' ('NAT') is the process of modifying IP address information in IP packet headers while in transit across a traffic routing device. The simplest type of NAT provides a one-to-one translation of IP addresses. RFC 2663 refers to this type of NAT as 'basic NAT'. It is often also referred to as | 10:30 |
| kwtm2 | I know what NAT is. | 10:31 |
| kwtm2 | I did not know that that is what is required to run hotspot. I thought all Linux came with NAT. | 10:31 |
| kwtm2 | Anyway, now I know. Will install CSSU and power kernel. | 10:31 |
| kwtm2 | Thx. | 10:31 |
| Pali | you can disable it when building linux kernel | 10:31 |
| kwtm2 | Pali: Right, but I never figured Nokia would actually disable it. it almost kills the point of having Linux. Well, I am glad I can reenable it. | 10:32 |
| Estel_ | kwtm2, wiki says about long time for 5 dots | 10:35 |
| Estel_ | i remember, that it's written somewhere, about long time of first run due to optification | 10:35 |
| kwtm2 | Estel_: Yes, but I think people would benefit from knowing a more absolute number. 15 seconds seems long to me (after all, the clock ticks at 600 million times a second, you'd think it would be done in 5 seconds). | 10:36 |

| kwtm2 | Wow, does the N900 change its mac address after reflashing!? | 10:44 |
| kwtm2 | incredible! So the firmware must have something that generates a MAC address after it's reflashed. | 10:45 |
| Pali | kwtm2, no. mac address is stored in CAL NAND (/dev/mtd1) | 10:50 |
| Pali | and maemo system read it from nand at startup and send address to wifi chip | 10:50 |
| kwtm2 | well, my n900 just got a new MAC address. So maybe the nand is updated? | 10:50 |
| *** Mrick0363 has quit IRC | 10:51 | |

| DocScrutinizer | Estel_: yes, you're absolutely right about possibility of council asking x-fade (or - as group contact employer - Nokia in general) to change anything in IRC. I'm sure x-fade will follow _reasonable_ requests, to the degree his company policy allows (e.g. he mustn't give up control over channel, even if he maybe wasn't averse to do ;-D ) | 13:34 |
| DocScrutinizer | Estel_: still I don't feel I pivot rules | 13:34 |
| DocScrutinizer | Estel_: let's agree that we disagree sometimes about how to read any existing rules | 13:36 |
| freemangordon | zeq: trying GTK build with HW acceleration enabled, it was a mistake (or better said ignorance :) ) by my side when I said the enabling GLES with GTK does not make any difference. There is about:config value that defaults ot"HW acc disabled", but I find it after i've tried GTK | 13:36 |
| freemangordon | GTK build uses 10-20 less MB, I think that is the option we have to find a way to use | 13:36 |
| SpeedEvil | freemangordon: Of real memory - PSS ? | 13:37 |
| freemangordon | yep, RAM, according to conky | 13:37 |
| SpeedEvil | That's misleading, it's probably using RSS, which has issues | 13:37 |
| SpeedEvil | you don't care about - for example - the amount of RAM used for mapped libraries that are mapped by system processes | 13:38 |
| freemangordon | SpeedEvil: well, Qt is not mapped ;) | 13:38 |
| freemangordon | (libs) | 13:38 |
| SpeedEvil | k | 13:38 |
| freemangordon | while GTK is | 13:38 |
| SpeedEvil | I just woke up, so I may be say ing crap. | 13:38 |
| freemangordon | :) | 13:38 |
| SpeedEvil | http://www.selenic.com/smem/ | 13:38 |
| SpeedEvil | Works fine on n900 - the python bit, not the graph | 13:38 |
| SpeedEvil | I found it useful. | 13:39 |
| freemangordon | even with thumb, newer compiler, etc,etc, Qt is still HUGE | 13:39 |
| SpeedEvil | Some of the trivil nokia resident stuff is _very_ lightweight | 13:39 |
| SpeedEvil | trivial | 13:39 |
| freemangordon | and if we find a way to get rid of it for fennec(which itself is a memory hungry animal), we will gain some speedup,whatever | 13:40 |
| *** valeriusN has left #maemo | 13:40 | |
| freemangordon | also i tried flash with fennec, it works, but it is SLOOOW. And I can bet it is because of Qt | 13:40 |
| SpeedEvil | Flash is crap, and should die. But it's very useful :/ | 13:41 |
| freemangordon | back in the days I was tring to make my own Qt/WebKit based browser, it was PITA to run flash without performance penalty because of Qt | 13:41 |
| freemangordon | Not that I did not succeed, but it was PITA | 13:42 |
| freemangordon | anyway, lets see how GTK will behave with GLES acceleration enabled | 13:42 |

| DocScrutinizer | Estel_: (( If You think that referendum can be used to remove volunteers form volunteering,...)) please reread my post - I *never* suggested _anything_ like that. Such a referendum would be outright silly, unless it was about massive (criminal) lapse of one particular council member, in which case I guess most democracies know the concept of removing immunity from politicians. In same context: I think applying rules known from good | 13:44 |
| DocScrutinizer | democratic constitutions / politics is the only thing we got for most "common sense" questions regarding council and maemo 'administration' at large | 13:44 |
| freemangordon | SpeedEvil: in the meantime I agree with you re flash. But on the other hand if we have a working plugin on n900, why not use it? | 13:44 |
| SpeedEvil | Totally agree. | 13:44 |
| *** FredrIQ has joined #maemo | 13:45 | |
| DocScrutinizer | Estel_: the basic concept however is always same, no matter how silly the request: first you collect supporters for your idea; if you can find sufficient number of supporters it will get attention of the administrative entity which then decides (based on whatever rules) if they will start a referendum about that topic | 13:47 |
| *** FIQ has quit IRC | 13:48 | |
| *** FredrIQ is now known as FIQ | 13:48 | |
| DocScrutinizer | it's one of the most honourable duties of the administrative entity to make sure common sense applies to any such request and that no reasonable well supported request goes unheard | 13:49 |
| DocScrutinizer | changing rules of council elections is a reasonable request in my book, if that change cures a perceived flaw in the present rules | 13:50 |

| DocScrutinizer | anyway, freemangordon I guess we *need* a mandatory system reboot in libcurl postinst | 14:34 |

| Estel_ | about cssu-thumb | 14:46 |
| Estel_ | (if You have time now) | 14:46 |
| freemangordon | what about it? | 14:46 |
| Estel_ | what are plans for painless integration with current, erm, ecosystem (joking :P) of programs depending on KP? | 14:47 |

| Estel_ | ...from kernel-power-settings, to cleven and h-e-n | 14:47 |
| freemangordon | so far there are 2 packages which don't like kernal-cssu - KPS and compat-wireless-power | 14:47 |

| *** magog has joined #maemo | 14:48 | |

| Pali | freemangordon, pong | 14:48 |
| freemangordon | Estel_: yep | 14:48 |
| freemangordon | Pali: will you push newer KPS? | 14:49 |
| Estel_ | also, is there anything depending on cssu (normal, not thumb) that cries when thumb one is present? | 14:49 |
| Estel_ | Pali, I've seen bugs about web, forwarded them | 14:49 |
| freemangordon | none I am aware of | 14:49 |
| freemangordon | Pali: maybe new KP too | 14:49 |
| Pali | Estel_, ok | 14:49 |
| Estel_ | Pali, yes, please, newer KPS would be greatly appreciated - as I presume, it will work with both KP and KCSSU with no problems | 14:49 |
| freemangordon | with the fix for FMTX | 14:49 |
| Estel_ | from now on | 14:49 |
| Estel_ | wut fix for ftmx? | 14:50 |
| Pali | freemangordon, there was problem with kernel-power-settings some shift problem when user has old config file | 14:50 |
| freemangordon | Pali: I know | 14:50 |
| Pali | do you have log? | 14:50 |
| Pali | I'd like to fix this too | 14:50 |
| Pali | Estel_, echo 1 > lock for fmtx not worked | 14:51 |
| freemangordon | Pali: no | 14:51 |
| Estel_ | I see | 14:51 |
| Pali | but printf 1 > lock worked (e.g omit \n) | 14:51 |
| Estel_ | erm, what this echo was supposed to do? | 14:51 |
| Pali | lock or unlock fmtx | 14:51 |
| freemangordon | (actually it causes sh to use 100% CPU) | 14:51 |

| Hurrian | whelp, ran out of time this weekend, but come next weekend, I'll try winging it and simply replacing the driver trees and rebuilding | 14:53 |
| freemangordon | Hurrian: a better solution is Provides: kernel-feature-wireless-compat-VNN | 14:53 |
| freemangordon | Pali: ^^^ | 14:53 |
| Estel_ | agree. | 14:53 |
| freemangordon | what do you think | 14:53 |
| Hurrian | freemangordon, agreed | 14:54 |
| DocScrutinizer | Estel_: (problem of context) quite likely. I strictly answered on this one post of zogg - not even reading the prev thread | 14:54 |
| freemangordon | Estel_: NFC what these BT modules do, better as whoever was the author of wireless-compat drivers | 14:54 |
| freemangordon | i've just packaged it | 14:55 |
| Estel_ | DocScrutinizer, this answers it. Of course it's not Your fault, but You may consider (or not) some clarification, as, per what I know, 100% of readers took it as support for zog's idea | 14:55 |
| Hurrian | also, imo kp-based kernels should provide kernel-feature-poweruser or something to indicate presence of augmentations | 14:55 |
| Estel_ | freemangordon, aye. So we're not using them anywhere? I wonder if anyone tried loading them | 14:55 |

| zeq | freemangordon: I'll be about later this afternoon. I agree, we need to go with whatever works best qt vs gtk, and memory consumption is a big one! | 14:56 |

| Estel_ | DocScrutinizer, stupid question mode on - considering N900 board layout, are there any chances for hassle-free inclusion of active cooling, as prrof-of-concept? Or due to sandwitched chips, it would be placebo? | 14:57 |
| * freemangordon reboots the device in an attempt to make that work | 14:57 | |

| SpeedEvil | Estel_: Cooling is largely pointless | 14:58 |
| Estel_ | SpeedEvil, hm? | 14:58 |

| Estel_ | what it is, btw, one-nand? | 15:00 |
| SpeedEvil | Estel_: You are putting stress on the ram-chip | 15:00 |
| kwtm2 | If they are the same, then that's ok. In fact, I fell asleep trying to upgrade the kernel on my N900. | 15:01 |
| Hurrian | the onenand sits on top of the CPU | 15:01 |
| SpeedEvil | Estel_: which has issues of its own. Cooling the board is probably better. | 15:01 |
| DocScrutinizer | Estel_: regarding EM it's pointless since due to very local and sub-millisecond hotspots on chip you physically can not transport temperature away fast enough | 15:01 |
| Estel_ | Hurrian, sure, heatsink sounds reasonable... | 15:01 |
| *** hurbu has joined #maemo | 15:01 | |
| Estel_ | DocScrutinizer, understood. General chip temperature, prolonged, doesn't affect it, though? | 15:01 |
| DocScrutinizer | it would when you could cool down the chip by 100 or 150 200 °C | 15:02 |
| Estel_ | SpeedEvil, cooling the board? using what? liquid nitrogen? :P | 15:02 |
| Hurrian | on the more extreme side, with the addition of another battery, you may be able to strap on a peltier cooler | 15:02 |
| Estel_ | Hurrian, peltier would introduce more heat | 15:02 |
| Estel_ | to take it out | 15:02 |
| Estel_ | + isolation | 15:02 |
| DocScrutinizer | cooling the chip means cooling the whole board as the board is chip's heatsink | 15:02 |
| Hurrian | Estel, we just have to drain it fast enough, somehow | 15:03 |
| *** hurbu has quit IRC | 15:03 | |
| Hurrian | again, impractical but cool | 15:03 |
| DocScrutinizer | bottom line: interesting idea - but forget it ;-) | 15:03 |
| Estel_ | Hurrian, more 1337 is using 75 percent potasium and 25 percent Na - melting point 25 celsius degrees under zero. Call it liquid metal cooling :P | 15:03 |
| Estel_ | DocScrutinizer, lol | 15:04 |
| *** hurbu has joined #maemo | 15:04 | |
| Estel_ | SpeedEvil, so generally applying heatsink to EMI shields (as they're connected to mass, ground plates inside board) is as much practical as fancy cooling of chip itself? | 15:05 |
| Hurrian | making a cooler for the N900 wouldn't be all that hard, there's a lot of free space for a milled/stamped out passive heatsink | 15:05 |
| Estel_ | btw, emi shields are not soldered, but simply "put" on borders, borders itself are soldered | 15:05 |
| Estel_ | Hurrian, yep. | 15:05 |
| Hurrian | optionally an "active" heatsink, with the addition of blowing air | 15:05 |
| DocScrutinizer | Hurrian: won't help anything, as the bottleneck is the case itself | 15:05 |
| Estel_ | I got just crazy ideas for my first prototype of aluminum body replacement :P | 15:05 |
| Estel_ | some of them containing heat pipes | 15:06 |
| *** hurbu has quit IRC | 15:06 | |
| Estel_ | :P | 15:06 |
| *** valerius has joined #maemo | 15:06 | |
| Estel_ | I know, silly, I was thinking about it as a proof of concept, rather | 15:06 |
| Hurrian | I have a salvaged copper laptop cooler on my table, and I was imagining all morning how easy it'd be to stamp one out, and thermal-tape it to the SoC | 15:06 |
| *** hurbu has joined #maemo | 15:06 | |
| DocScrutinizer | Estel_: with an alu body the whole thing changes a LOT | 15:07 |
| *** psychologe has quit IRC | 15:07 | |
| Estel_ | well, I wonder how cooling one-nand (being the topmost part) would propagate to SoC and rest of noard | 15:07 |
| Estel_ | DocScrutinizer, yea | 15:07 |
| DocScrutinizer | not at all | 15:07 |
| Hurrian | Estel_, just regular heat propagation, but slower | 15:07 |
| Estel_ | I would like to most effectively transfer heat from board/chip/memory to alu body | 15:08 |
| DocScrutinizer | SoC has power eating CPU in sandwich between board and RAM POP | 15:08 |
| Estel_ | and I'm searching for best "contact point" or points | 15:08 |
| Estel_ | yea | 15:08 |
| DocScrutinizer | cooling RAM POP won't earn you much | 15:08 |
| Hurrian | alu/copper sleeve that wraps around the entire SoC+PoP assembly? | 15:08 |
| Estel_ | wait, so ram is topmost, not one-nand? | 15:08 |
| DocScrutinizer | you need to cool the board | 15:08 |
| DocScrutinizer | ground plane of board to be specific | 15:09 |
| Estel_ | DocScrutinizer, yea, suspected that | 15:09 |
| Estel_ | generally, they did awesomely good job of propagating heat transfer to board. Now how to take it out effectively, without big direct contact point with ground plane? | 15:09 |
| Estel_ | emi shields are just "put" at top, not soldered | 15:10 |
| Hurrian | Estel_, encase the whole SoC and PoP in a sleeve? | 15:10 |
| DocScrutinizer | since there ate few plain void areas on board, you have a hard time to physically attach a heatsink to it | 15:10 |
| Estel_ | Hurrian, it is some idea, but I'm rather thinking about taking it out from shields inside board (out heat) | 15:10 |
| Hurrian | ah, without taking off the shields? | 15:10 |
| Estel_ | maybe scrap solder mask somewhere? :P | 15:10 |
| Estel_ | Hurrian, yea, or with, as my alu body is shield in itself | 15:11 |
| Estel_ | so it matters less | 15:11 |
| DocScrutinizer | EMI shields don'T help - it's iron, very thin iron. A rather poor heat conductor | 15:11 |
| *** klink has joined #maemo | 15:11 | |
| Estel_ | exactly | 15:11 |
| Estel_ | + it is in just "touch" contact | 15:11 |
| Estel_ | first idea was to put heatsink on chip itself, attached via liquid metal as a thermal paste (seriously), it's easy doable, but rather poor at cooling board | 15:12 |
| Estel_ | well, helps a little due to stressed ram being cooled... but... | 15:13 |
| DocScrutinizer | you might (given the bizarre nature of whole topic) consider sealing SoC shield can hermetically, then attach two nozzles and pump cooling liquid thru the whole compartment | 15:13 |
| Estel_ | 0_o | 15:13 |
| *** Termana has joined #maemo | 15:13 | |
| DocScrutinizer | :-D | 15:14 |
| Estel_ | N900 underwater project :D | 15:14 |
| DocScrutinizer | probably some special mineral oils would work | 15:14 |
| DocScrutinizer | or some high alcohols | 15:14 |
| Estel_ | yea, but they're bad as coolers :P | 15:14 |
| Hurrian | Estel_, mineral oil board immersion? | 15:14 |
| DocScrutinizer | nah, glycol is not that bad | 15:14 |
| Estel_ | Hurrian, yea :P | 15:14 |
| Hurrian | I can see TMO filled with requests for a special fiberglass mineral oil case | 15:15 |
| DocScrutinizer | but I guess it's too hygroscopic to be a good isolator | 15:15 |
| Estel_ | we have some points where keyboard case and such things touch ground planes | 15:16 |
| *** mase76 has joined #maemo | 15:16 | |
| Estel_ | or generally, parts of body | 15:16 |
| Estel_ | putting them in contact with alu body - in good contact - is probably going to help a lot | 15:16 |
| DocScrutinizer | realistically your best bet is moving air across the 'backside' of PCB | 15:16 |
| Estel_ | Ion cooler :D | 15:17 |
| Estel_ | 2KV in Your N900's backside | 15:17 |
| DocScrutinizer | why not | 15:17 |
| Hurrian | we should do that without cutting a large hole in the phone and decreasing resistance to water drops | 15:17 |
| Estel_ | would be cool, and could dubble for a neon light power source | 15:17 |
| *** shanttu has joined #maemo | 15:18 | |
| DocScrutinizer | otoh ther are extremely small fans available or you can build them from RC-components | 15:18 |
| Estel_ | I think that, realistically, touching ground plates where applicable is best idea, + part touching chip without emi shielding as a extreme case | 15:19 |
| Estel_ | huh? | 15:19 |
| Estel_ | power suckers :P | 15:19 |
| DocScrutinizer | a bit | 15:19 |
| DocScrutinizer | not that bad | 15:19 |
| DocScrutinizer | way less than the energy they move out ;-P | 15:19 |
| Estel_ | we were joking a little, but seriously I'm thinking now about realistical ways to increase cooling, having alu body | 15:19 |
| Estel_ | DocScrutinizer, yea :D | 15:20 |
| Estel_ | BTW, You know that someone did thievery on my idea and is selling phone chargers based on flame and heat? | 15:20 |
| DocScrutinizer | find plain void areas of PCB, glue headsinks/-pipes to them with CPU cooler sticky pads | 15:20 |
| Estel_ | DocScrutinizer, sticky pads are suckers at effective cooling, I'm using liquid metal instead :P but generally, agree | 15:21 |
| *** dhbiker has joined #maemo | 15:21 | |
| Estel_ | my idea was stirling engine charger powered by pocket lighter | 15:21 |
| Estel_ | someone decided, that incorporating room where You put a little wood and burn it is better, lol | 15:21 |
| DocScrutinizer | liquid metal doesn't isolate, a mandatory property of your heat conducting stuff you use to attach to PCB geberally | 15:21 |
| Estel_ | DocScrutinizer, but I'm attaching metal part to ground, why should it isolate? | 15:22 |
| Estel_ | current N900 case is grounded too | 15:22 |
| Estel_ | backside of screen, metal frame around it | 15:22 |
| DocScrutinizer | don't mess with groundplane design! | 15:22 |
| DocScrutinizer | it's not a static thing, electrically | 15:23 |
| Estel_ | ? why, it's interesting | 15:23 |
| DocScrutinizer | any loop you create may cause massive trouble | 15:23 |
| DocScrutinizer | whole groundplane is also part of all antennae | 15:23 |
| Estel_ | I see, so why they have, practicaly, attached back of screen and our metal loop around screen to ground plane? or i missunderstood something? | 15:23 |
| DocScrutinizer | they evaluated this particular way they did this, and you mustn't change it basically | 15:24 |
| Estel_ | sure, I'm just interested why, natural curious. BTW, I got electricized by N900 frame around screen, once | 15:25 |
| *** valerius has quit IRC | 15:25 | |
| DocScrutinizer | general rule: keep any existing ground connections, don't create any new ones | 15:25 |
| Estel_ | my modified charger was screwde in one point, and applied AC voltage to USB case | 15:25 |
| *** klink_ has joined #maemo | 15:26 | |
| Estel_ | harging worked fine, but voltage from outer part of USB case (not 220V, lower) was transfered to N900's usb case | 15:26 |
| Estel_ | and through it, to metal frame around screen | 15:26 |
| Estel_ | nice anti-thievery protection :P | 15:26 |
| *** vblazquez has quit IRC | 15:27 | |
| DocScrutinizer | I heard of somebody getting this effect on headset earplugs X-P | 15:27 |
| Estel_ | it was lying on my desk, and every time I reached my notebook (which have metal case), something was biting my arm | 15:27 |
| Estel_ | lol | 15:27 |
| Estel_ | then I started to suspect something - for first, I though that my notebook metal case is on voltage | 15:27 |
| Estel_ | started to emasure it with multimeter | 15:28 |
| DocScrutinizer | THIS must go directly to your brain! ;-P | 15:28 |
| Estel_ | to the point where I touched notebook and N900 metal case via multimeter - notebook to this point have small brown point, burned out | 15:28 |
| Estel_ | just on surface, but still | 15:28 |
| *** hurbu has quit IRC | 15:28 | |
| DocScrutinizer | Estel_: either you switched your MM to ampere, or you used a really really crappy MM | 15:29 |
| Estel_ | Part of charger pcp cut through isolation while assembloing unit, and was touching one capacitor or whatsnot, anyway, it was creating initially small, yet getting bigger and bigger voltage | 15:29 |
| Estel_ | the latter :P | 15:29 |
| *** mase76 has quit IRC | 15:29 | |
| DocScrutinizer | impedance of a MM at voltage range should be several M-Ohms per volt | 15:29 |
| Estel_ | exactly. | 15:29 |
| Estel_ | which convinced me to buy new MM :P | 15:30 |
| *** mase76 has joined #maemo | 15:30 | |
| DocScrutinizer | good :-P | 15:30 |
| Estel_ | anyway, using ampere in search for wandering voltage would grant me honorable mention at darwin awards | 15:30 |
| *** klink_ has left #maemo | 15:30 | |
| Estel_ | btw I'm glad my device wasn't screwed due to this, fortunately, board is wisely designed | 15:31 |
| Estel_ | (i.e. AC 40-60V applied to ground plane didn't affected N900at all) | 15:31 |
| Estel_ | it was working whole time :P | 15:31 |
| Estel_ | btw I wonder what the hell made voltage AC that was initially less than 1V and was raising with time | 15:32 |
| kwtm2 | Sorry, how do we know/show that kernel-power is installed ? (apart from apt-cache policy or otherwise apt *saying* it's installed.) Can we tell from uname in terminal? Some settings screen that says "I now feel omnipotent" or something? | 15:33 |

| Estel_ | DocScrutinizer, I waas thinking about this preserving ground plane design and something came to my mind: | 15:36 |
| Estel_ | 1. We know, that metal frame and backside of screen is connected to ground plane. | 15:36 |
| *** muelli has quit IRC | 15:36 | |
| Estel_ | 2. So, by touching metal frame to any metal, even accidentaly, we change groundplane design! | 15:37 |
| *** hurbu has joined #maemo | 15:37 | |
| Estel_ | yep? | 15:37 |
| *** retro|cz has quit IRC | 15:37 | |
| Estel_ | i.e. when N900 lies on desk, touching box for cigarettes (metal one) ground plane is different, yes? | 15:38 |

| zeq | freemangordon: I wonder how that relates to native fennec? | 19:02 |
| freemangordon | zeq: i finally managed to turn GTK EGL acc on, unfortunately it segfaults in libEGL.so, now trying without --enable-egl-xrender-composite | 19:02 |
| freemangordon | zeq: most probably not related | 19:02 |
| freemangordon | if I got your question right | 19:03 |
| zeq | freemangordon: I tried to build qt with --enable-egl-xrender-composite, it didn't compile though... did you get that to work? | 19:03 |
| freemangordon | same here, it does not compile | 19:03 |
| zeq | no just me then :) | 19:03 |
| freemangordon | but GTK version compiles | 19:03 |
| zeq | s/no/not/ | 19:03 |
| infobot | zeq meant: not just me then :) | 19:03 |
| freemangordon | unfortunatel Qt build is SLOOW with flash enabled :( | 19:04 |
| freemangordon | some 1-2 fps | 19:04 |
| zeq | I read ^^^ you've some experience with that | 19:04 |
| luke-jr | full Qt build is impossible on N900 natively :/ | 19:04 |
| freemangordon | yeah, but i was using webkit | 19:04 |
| freemangordon | luke-jr: what? | 19:04 |
| luke-jr | Qt-WebKit will lock the system swapping so hard that it watchdog-reboots | 19:05 |
| freemangordon | you mean on the device | 19:05 |
| luke-jr | yes | 19:05 |
| zeq | ok... I wonder why it's slow... and how relevant it is any more... | 19:05 |
| freemangordon | it spits something about XEmbed | 19:05 |
| freemangordon | not using shm or something | 19:05 |
| freemangordon | NFC | 19:05 |
| zeq | that would do it | 19:05 |
| zeq | if it's having to copy pixmaps around all over the place | 19:06 |
| freemangordon | yep | 19:06 |
| freemangordon | but that is strange, as webkit works pretty ok | 19:06 |
| zeq | must be a bug | 19:06 |
| freemangordon | (with some hacks) | 19:06 |
| *** shanttu has quit IRC | 19:06 | |

| freemangordon | not that we can fix it :D | 19:07 |
| zeq | looking at the specs now | 19:07 |
| freemangordon | which specs? | 19:08 |
| zeq | HTML5 is the future I hear ;) | 19:08 |
| freemangordon | aah, fennec scores pretty well, 363 or so | 19:08 |

| zeq | fennec/qt? | 19:09 |

| freemangordon | BTW could you pull the latest source, I saw some memty leaks fixed | 19:11 |
| freemangordon | zeq: well, I have all of the history disabled on my desktop, that is why ;) | 19:11 |

| zeq | you'd imagine that was the same thing..? | 19:17 |

| FIQ | microB's UI isn't really intuitive | 20:21 |
| FIQ | I'm not surprised if there's still hidden features that I don't know of, that requires strange cryptic gestures | 20:21 |
| RiD | microB had better days | 20:22 |
| FIQ | I mean, *after* I''ve learned about the mouse thingy to mark text, it took me several months before I got the hang of doing it correctly | 20:24 |
| FIQ | before, I just randomly did things, hoping it would work | 20:24 |
| zeq | FIQ: serious question: how would you do it? | 20:24 |
| FIQ | I place my finger at the leftmost place of the phone, slowly going right before the mouse activates | 20:25 |
| FIQ | the leftmost, as in, before even the touch screen begins | 20:25 |
| RiD | i do it with the nails | 20:26 |
| RiD | lol | 20:26 |
| FIQ | I meant nails :p | 20:26 |
| FIQ | more precision | 20:26 |
| FIQ | Most genious gesture ever | 20:26 |
| FIQ | Who came up with that? | 20:26 |
| zeq | I mean how would you do it differently? | 20:27 |
| zeq | I actually quite like the UI, but then it did take a while to figure it out, so I can't argue with the intuitiveness of it! | 20:27 |
| FIQ | Oh, well, I never understanded how you did it, just that it was possible | 20:27 |
| FIQ | So I randomly did things before it did what I wanted | 20:27 |
| FIQ | I knew it was something with the left part of the screen, but not more | 20:28 |
| FIQ | So yeah.. :p | 20:28 |
| zeq | FIQ: Imagine, you could start again... What would you do to achieve the same functionality? | 20:28 |
| *** saltsa has joined #maemo | 20:28 | |
| FIQ | place it in the top menu | 20:28 |
| *** saltsa is now known as saltsa_ | 20:28 | |
| FIQ | it's slower, but at least more available | 20:29 |
| zeq | Like: "Activiate pointer"? | 20:29 |
| FIQ | that, or "mark text" :p | 20:29 |
| FIQ | (as is the widest usage) | 20:29 |
| zeq | it does more that mark text though | 20:29 |
| FIQ | Yes, it does, but that is the main thing, no? | 20:29 |
| zeq | It's *a* thing :P | 20:29 |
| zeq | if you need to select certain elements it's often necessary too | 20:30 |
| RiD | or long press, and have a feature for activate pointer | 20:31 |
| RiD | kinda like Opera does | 20:31 |
| zeq | ok, that sounds more usable | 20:31 |
| *** sq-one has quit IRC | 20:32 | |
| zeq | I still prefer the MicroB gesture though ;) | 20:33 |
| RiD | Me too, but the long press is not bad either | 20:33 |
| *** e-yes has quit IRC | 20:33 | |
| FIQ | the gesture is definetely usable, it's just.. not obvious at all | 20:33 |
| FIQ | good luck finding the feature on your own, etc | 20:34 |
| RiD | it took me more time to figure out the history browser lol | 20:35 |
| FIQ | Not me :p | 20:35 |
| FIQ | Mostly because I activated it by mistake all the time | 20:36 |
| *** user has joined #maemo | 20:36 | |
| FIQ | And, tbh, I rarely use back/forward on microB | 20:36 |
| FIQ | mostly because it need a page reload | 20:36 |
| FIQ | and microB isn't really the fastest browser ever created... | 20:36 |
| DocScrutinizer | http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Shortcuts_and_Gestures | 20:36 |
| DocScrutinizer | FTW | 20:37 |
| RiD | FIQ its starting to get really sluggish on these new pages | 20:37 |
| *** user is now known as qwazix_900 | 20:37 | |
| RiD | its pissing me off more and more everyday | 20:37 |
| FIQ | My old phone was a Sony Ericsson P1i | 20:37 |
| qwazix_900 | one great problem with microb is | 20:37 |
| FIQ | I used Opera Mobile 9.5 on it, and loved it | 20:37 |
| FIQ | Sure, it's probably slower *today* than microB | 20:37 |
| DocScrutinizer | (exists since... 04:43, 17 January 2010) | 20:38 |
| RiD | you can use opera on n900 too, but there's no "fullscreen" mode that only gets rid of the top bar | 20:38 |
| qwazix_900 | that you cant access history without loading a random page at startup | 20:38 |
| ShadowJK | There used to be a bookmark in the browser, which took you to a page which explained all those gestures. I think if oyu tap that bookmark today though, you get redirected to advertisements for lumia | 20:38 |
| FIQ | but with that stats, it was awesome | 20:38 |
| RiD | it always hides the bottom bar. which is why i dont use. having to switch fullscreen/windowed all time to change tab is not cool | 20:38 |
| FIQ | no refreshing on back/forward, fast, *proper* UI | 20:38 |
| *** brzys has joined #maemo | 20:38 | |
| RiD | qwazix_900 that annoys me too | 20:38 |
| FIQ | the only problem with opera mobile 9.5 on P1i was that it was a beta, and crashed from time to time | 20:39 |
| qwazix_900 | I actually like the swipe for pointer but it could use an icon in the menu for new users | 20:39 |
| FIQ | and somehow took the OS with it.. a problem I solved when swiss manager elite came out for that OS | 20:39 |
| FIQ | after that, the phone was really decent, and nice, to the level that I sometimes feel that I would prefer it over microB today | 20:40 |
| ShadowJK | Eh, you can tap bottom right in opera and it brings up tabs, iirc? | 20:40 |
| RiD | ShadowJK and turns off fullscreen. | 20:40 |
| RiD | i once managed to get it fullscreen, without hiding the bottom bar. | 20:40 |
| RiD | the problem is that i could never reproduce it again | 20:40 |
| RiD | opera scrolling is usually more stutterish, but it always show the page and loads faster on most of the cases | 20:41 |
| RiD | also it doesn't incredibly bog down when showing large images, unlike microb | 20:41 |
| ShadowJK | Well it goes back to fullscreen once you've used the UI | 20:41 |
| FIQ | Delete character. Works in Notes App, entering URLs in Browser. Does not work in Abiword. | 20:41 |
| FIQ | why was things like this not implemented simply as the key Delete? | 20:42 |
| *** hurbu_ has joined #maemo | 20:42 | |
| FIQ | instead of letting apps implement it on their own | 20:42 |
| DocScrutinizer | ?? | 20:42 |
| japh | on their own? that's X | 20:42 |
| RiD | ShadowJK it makes switching tabs and etc very unpractical for me | 20:42 |
| ShadowJK | oh? | 20:43 |
| RiD | it's one more extra click and a screen "flash" | 20:44 |
| japh | I'm using vimperator in firefox. it's ok | 20:44 |
| japh | for some reason it didn't want to accept pentadactyl | 20:44 |

| FIQ | Lagged very much | 21:06 |
| zeq | Ideally we'd like to re-implement a native UI like microb | 21:06 |

| freemangordon | zeq: this version is broken :( | 22:59 |
| freemangordon | withouw HW acceleration it is slow | 23:00 |
| freemangordon | need to find what broke it | 23:00 |
| zeq | :( | 23:02 |
| zeq | bisection is going to be fun | 23:03 |
| freemangordon | yeah | 23:03 |
| * SpeedEvil wonders if chronological bisection would be better. | 23:04 | |
| SpeedEvil | As most of the time, your subsystem is not going to be the one being patched | 23:04 |
| zeq | SpeedEvil: the trouble is the build-time ... | 23:04 |
| SpeedEvil | I guess. | 23:04 |
| zeq | SpeedEvil: I mean whatever method | 23:04 |
| *** perlite has quit IRC | 23:05 | |
| zeq | we need to look for a suspicious commit | 23:05 |
| *** Timmy has quit IRC | 23:05 | |

| SpeedEvil | Is this kernel? | 23:07 |
| freemangordon | fennec | 23:08 |
| SpeedEvil | ah | 23:08 |
| SpeedEvil | Oh | 23:08 |
| freemangordon | even worse :) | 23:08 |
| SpeedEvil | that does take a rather longer time to build. | 23:08 |
| SpeedEvil | Assuming it's about the same as firefox | 23:08 |
| zeq | especially in scratchbox! | 23:08 |
| SpeedEvil | I assume you can't duplicate the bug in x86, running remotely? | 23:09 |
| freemangordon | yeah :( | 23:09 |
| freemangordon | SpeedEvil: nfc | 23:09 |
| freemangordon | zeq: the good news is that HW acceleration is smoother and crashes rarely | 23:10 |
| freemangordon | (i.e. when enabled) | 23:10 |
| zeq | with qt? | 23:10 |
| freemangordon | yep | 23:10 |
| zeq | ok, that's something :) | 23:10 |
| *** qwazix_900 has quit IRC | 23:10 | |
| zeq | obviously being worked on | 23:10 |
| zeq | maybe that's what broke non-hw accel | 23:10 |
| zeq | :S | 23:11 |
| freemangordon | could be | 23:11 |
| *** qwazix_900 has joined #maemo | 23:11 | |
| freemangordon | anyway, I am afk for a while | 23:11 |
| zeq | freemangordon: np | 23:11 |
| freemangordon | zeq; I wonder should we prepare a patch agains previous tree | 23:12 |
| freemangordon | (and who will prepare it :) ) | 23:12 |
